I probably know too much about the Disney Princess canon in the first place so it was a surprise when I rewatched Enchanted for the first time in a while and realized, or remembered, Giselle is a Disney character. But not an official Disney Princess!
And frankly I don’t think she -or her movie- gets her due.
Reaper Man
By: Terry Pratchett
I finally got to Reaper Man in Discworld a story in which Death is forcibly retired and goes to work on a farm- one I knew I would like because I like Death…
And the damned trolleys had me so confused!
We got a bunch of new trailers recently including for Charlie Kaufman’s Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things…
I know I said I wasn’t going to talk about movie release dates anymore but the Mulan news looks to be pretty big as Disney is splitting the difference on one of its biggest most anticipated movies and sending it to Disney+.
But we aren’t getting it for just that $6.99 subscription.
Agnes at the End of the World
By: Kelly McWilliams
I’m a little torn on Agnes because for most of this book I was honestly LOVING it. Yes capitalized I was that into it.
The Rise of Kylo Ren
If there is one thing I hated most about the new trilogy it would be that scene with Luke and Ben in Last Jedi where Luke draws the lightsaber because he saw great darkness in Ben and then everything went to hell including characterization.
I only picked up this graphic novel because I had hope it would add something to that story.
I should have known better.
Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line
By: Deepa Anappara
Djinn Patrol is one of those books I picked up not at all knowing what I was going to get and absolutely loved despite the dark and tragic subject manner.
And I think it’s because Anappara brings the characters and the setting (but especially the characters) to life so well that I felt that I was there running the streets with the kids and I wanted to keep them all safe and fix everything that was wrong. Unfortunately there is a lot wrong for them.
Is it wrong to read an entire okay book just hoping to see a character get what’s coming to them?
I mean probably not right (that’s probably half the success of ASOIAF) but I still couldn’t help feel a little weird…
Random Mini-Reviews Below:
So apparently Keanu Reeves co-wrote a comic.
Whose main character bears a resemblance to him and you don’t really need to tell me more I’m in for the book and the sure to come film adaptation!
I was going to bemoan the recent movie release date changes and the lack of any good comic-con news but than Taylor Swift surprised everyone delivered a jolt to my disastrous summer and dropped an album last night.
And I assure you folklore is deservedly on the Best of 2020 list already and will no doubt stay there. There will be rambles on this to come 🙂
So here’s a wrap up on the other great things I’ve loved this year! These aren’t in any kind of order but I highly recommend all of them!
